Music, Mass, & Me Bible Study - Sts Anne & Joachim Catholic Church

*Registration form found at the bottom of this page*

Join us for an 8-week Bible Study exploring the liturgy of the Catholic Church!

What: Music, Mass, & Me Bible Study
Where: Breakfast Nook at Sts. Anne & Joachim Catholic Church
When: Thursdays at 11:00am (subject to change based on participant availability)
-Tentative Schedule: March 13, 20, & 27, April 3, 10, & 24, May 1 & 8
Who: Director of Music, Patrick McGuire, and any interested participants
How: Using scripture passages from Genesis through Revelation, we will explore the origins of worship in the bible, drawing on wisdom from magisterial documents and Catholic theologians to learn more about how and why Catholics worship at Mass the way we do, especially in regards to sacred music.
Why: To deepen our understanding of communal worship at Mass & foster active participation in our liturgies.

“Learn what your participation in the celebration of Mass means to you and others.”

"It helped in gaining a better understanding of how the liturgy and music/ worship is meant to be in our faith. I also gained a greater appreciation for the wisdom of our Church Fathers and hierarchy. A well formed liturgist/music director makes a difference in music and the Mass for the congregation! We continue to be formed and grow in holiness through our participation."

“This study will help you to become a more ‘active’ participant in the Mass and enrich your understanding of how important it is to be part of the liturgy and music.”
